The Year 2012

Year 2012 is definitely a year to remember. We went through so much ups and downs this year, good stuff...the little one that we have been so looking forward to...bad stuff...learned lesson and of course, being a much wiser person now. But most of all, we have SURVIVED! v(^_^)V

December is always a busy yet a happy month for us. It is always the month of some important functions and events to attend, the month of spring cleaning, the month as a full-time mother as the kids are having their long holidays, and not forgetting it is also the month to sum up company account. Pheewww...so much things to be done...yet, enjoying every moment of it though sometimes felt exhausted!

As I'm now in the second trimester, we have been cutting down on outdoor activity. This month I focus more on NingNing's pronunciation, letting the girls helping me with some household chores and their social behaviour in public. As we are celebrating Winter Solstice and Christmas this month, I decided to let the girls  have some fun. I made the dough from the glutinous rice flour, adding colouring (red, pink and green) to separated dough then, letting the girls to finish the job. The girls got creative, SyuenSyuen made the "tang yuan" with Christmas term. She made a Snowman instead of traditional round tang yuan while NingNing made 'snake'!! (O.o) They even mixed the colour and knead it round and now, we had RAINBOW tang yuan! So much fun with the girls, it was a MESS but we are happy! Ooppss...so enjoyed that I have forgotten the existing of the camera! (=.=)" Anyway, this is the only photo of the tang yuan making.


Last year, we decorated a Candy Christmas Tree. This year, we decorated the Christmas tree with handmade gifts and snowman. They were all made from unwanted material, another recycle project :) Hopefully, we have more and more blessed years to come!
